Musings of an eternal optimist!

We Are The World!

Always wait for something good and it happens, because whatsoever happens, we create. In fact we sow the seeds…mostly unconsciously. And because of this we think negative things happen to us. Everything is absolutely based on a fundamental ultimate law: nothing ever goes wrong. Yes, sometimes it looks to us as if it has gone wrong, because we were expecting something else.

Therein lies the problem – we sow seeds of one flower and we expect flowers of a different kind. Then when we see different flowers, we are frustrated. The old adage is so true…what we sow is what we reap! Therefore, we constantly create our world. There are people who are constantly afraid that something wrong is going to happen, and then it happens! And when it happens, they are proved right. They have made it happen. People who are loving will always find situations where love blooms.

Our existence gives us what we project. When a child is born, all the alternatives are open; he is utterly free. He can be a musician, poet, wrestler, a politician, he can be anything an Adolf Hitler, a Gautama Buddha; anything is possible But sooner or later choices start coming and he starts moving in a certain direction. Then that direction remains his world. I have experienced over a period of time whatsoever has happened to me, I have been the cause of it. Sometimes it hurts that I am the cause the cause of the negativity in my life & I wonder if I could have handled it better. I was also told there is no need to feel sad, because if I have learnt my lesson well, then I can ensure that the same things don’t happen to me again!

The second thing that becomes important is to be thankful for every situation & experience one goes through. Waking up each morning thanking the Universe for everything in life has empowered me to face whatever comes my way. I have turned into an opportunist…because I understand now that everything happening around me is an opportunity to grow! Learn from your surroundings, Swami Vivekananda said, and see how you can create your own path!

We essentially mirror the Universe. The vast intelligence that orders the cosmos is available to all. The beauty of life, wonder of living, is that we share creativity, intelligence, and unlimited potential with the rest of the cosmos. If the universe is vast and mysterious, we are vast and mysterious, too. If it contains innumerable creative energies, so do we. There is much unexplored potential in each of us.

There is infinitely more to life, and each passionate being who dares to explore beyond the fragmentary and superficial into the mystery of totality helps all humanity perceive what it is to be fully human.

Wishing all of you out there a passionate, eventful & positive day out there!!!
